In a few short weeks, Peyton and I will be heading off to Florida for a much-needed vacation. Every time we travel I am always worried one of us will come down ill. Or more that Peyton will come down ill. She can be a real bear when she doesn't feel well. One way I plan on combating this fear (and the germs) is by bringing my Island Miracles diffuser with us on the trip. Another benefit of bringing the Island Miracles diffuser with us is it also works as a nightlight. When being used, the ...

Lucky Iron Fish
Growing up I was anemic. There was even a point in time where I would have my blood tested regularly to monitor my iron levels. I tried taking supplements but they just made my stomach upset.

The next few months went by pretty ...

A Road Trip Must Have
We are getting ready to go on some fabulous road trips in the next two months! I can't wait to share all these adventures with you guys. One of the places we will be heading to is Mount Rushmore. While we are there we'll also be taking in some of the parks and enjoying the hiking trails. And I am sure, that at least one of use will slip, fall and scrape a knee. It's a given with 2 kids in tow. Heck, Peyton can fall getting out of the car and scrape her legs up. Having a first aid kit with you in ...
Get a Workout Without Leaving the House
The days are getting shorter, the sun is going down earlier making it harder to get out for a quick walk. And soon, the snow will be here along with freezing temps. All this means I will be stuck indoors for months until the ice melts and the warm weather returns. Being a single mom, it's hard to get to a gym without a kid in tow. Plus the travel time sucks up what little time we have to spend together each night after school. So I much rather include Peyton in my workouts. Or at the very least ...
